Last night, my beautiful Melissa and I attended An Elegant Evening in the Court of Honor at the Legion of Honor hosted Honorary Chairman, philanthropist, art collector, and champion-for-the-Arts Diane “Dede” Wilsey and Chairman and Mrs. Newton A. Cope. We were graciously invited by Dave Spencer, Art Enthusiast, Entrepreneur, Board of Trustees member of the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco, Board of Trustees member of Florence Academy of Art and most important an overall great gentleman.

As we arrived at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, the façade lit up the night sky giving a glimpse of the evening to unfold. Upon arrival. we viewed the current exhibition Pissarro's People. Camille Pissarro had a unique and lifelong interest in the human figure. From his earliest years in the Caribbean and Venezuela until his death in Paris in 1903, Pissarro drew, painted, and made prints featuring human subjects from every walk of life. Pissarro’s People celebrates the painter’s humanism in all its aspects and brings together nearly 100 works of art, including some 37 paintings and numerous works on paper made over the course of his entire career. 

After cocktails in the main rotunda among Rodin sculptures, we entered the tented Court of Honor for dinner, music and dancing. Need I say it was a perfect evening?..
